“…A strong virtual password authentication mechanism consists of rules like minimum and maximum password limit, passwords should be consisting of numbers, symbols and letters, was proposed by Rahiem et al [12]. They claimed that, those rules can significantly increase the cracking time of passwords to nine centuries, which is the result of Kaspersky lab secure password measurement.…”

Everyone connected and using the Internet is concerned regarding the security and also the privacy of their sensitive information available on the Internet. As authentication is the fundamental part of security, there are different authentication mechanisms through which the systems can be secured. The password-based authentication mechanism is a cheap and easy method for enforcing authentication in the systems for many years. The weakest aspect in password security is human, as they choose weak and easy to guess passwords or a highly secure and complex password which might be difficult to remember and recover the password. On the other hand, Dictionary and Brute force attacks are widely used to compromise the passwords of the users over the Internet. In this paper, a password generation system is proposed which generates a password based on the user’s input like, time and location data. The system generates a password that is highly secure, easy to remember, easy to recover, and can effectively defend against Brute force and dictionary attacks. The generated passwords have been checked in three online password checkers, which verifies that the system is generating highly secure and crack resistant passwords. The system is implemented using PHP scripting language with a user-friendly environment.

“…Password attackers can easily gain access to weak passwords. Rahiemy et al [22] present that the lack of password complexity serves as the source for attackers. In addition to that, Tabrez and Sai [23] also believe that weak passwords always motivate attackers.…”

Information security refers to a means of preventing unauthorized users from access to information. Risk management usually adopts in information security to provide solutions to security challenges by minimizing risks.Risk can be minimized by administrative control and defense mechanisms. Access control can also enforce the user right access and thereby minimizing risks. Authentication is one of the techniques used in access control systems to protect unauthorized access. Many approaches for authentication have been proposed to address security challenges. These approaches have a conflict with the system usability and therefore required the modification of tradition password techniques for better solutions. Information Authentication is the common method used by security experts to verify the users' identities before getting access right into the system. Access controls are enforced for all users, irrespective of categories they belong. Traditional authentication methods [1] were enough to protect the unauthorized access right as many security breaches were reported. Therefore, advanced security methods that are based on human features required.
